Charity Shield 2018

Luc with a lot of sloppy passes.

Yep, Luc has had a bad first half. Very sloppy

 

[MILEY CYRUS]

Luc struggling to push up in defence.

 

[ST Tangles 01]

Biggest improvement is our kicking.
Biggest weakness when our starting props go off and marker defence.

 

[TruSaint]

40 mins in and now fuming.

While I was impressed with Luc last week, he is hindering our attack this week. Nene is getting terrible service and try’s are going begging.

Defence up the guts terrible. Coincides with Graham, Vaughan and JDB going for a rest.

SIGH

Luc has been bog average.
Sorry to say.

Our so called "D" is terrible

 

[Dragons22]

A very poor end to the half. Aitken and Nightingale have been embarrassing. This is a game which they Dragons should be winning. Nightingale bombed three bloody tries!

 

[OzDragon]

Soooo, panic buttons?

 

[TomRedVRiver]

Biggest issue i'm seeing so far is a clear drop in class and overall performance when our starting forwards come off. I know that guys like De Belin and Graham will play longer minutes in the regular season, but we need to fix that or we will be exposed. Can't afford to drop the intensity at any stage.

 

[Mark D]

Defence is so flat footed when the opposition spread the ball.

Agreed .... line speed is rubbish

 

[Dragsters]

Luc with a lot of sloppy passes.

Nene standing flat-footed on both occasions...

 

[MILEY CYRUS]

Looking forward to seeing Josh Kerr in the 2nd half.

 

[BankstownDragon]

Let' be honest nothing has changed at all.
Just a couple of better players.....and still the same garbage miss time attack and non existent defence structure.

Sad, really fu**in sad.

Agree
Also think around the 30min mark McInnes struggles to get back on side in defence.

 

[Old Kogarah Boy 1]

Only started watching at the 20 minute mark. Now halftime.

Observation.......

There seems very little structure so far.
Lots of one off stuff.
Very predictable attack.
I’m feeling disappointed......

Hunt kicking game looks good.

Am l overreacting?

 

[mickeylane]

Leilua son, join Host - your average as f**k!
Sims to stiffen up the edge and Lomax to come on to light up the right centre.

We are struggling with wide players.. lacking genuine class centres..
Hunt is a blessing!

 

[Mickthedragon]

Soooo, panic buttons?

Lol, its tempting but not just yet. Keen to see this 2nd half now and how they finish it off.

 

[Dragsters]

Soooo, panic buttons?

Yep, season on the line...

 

[Dragonslayer]

1st half of the first half = very good
replace starting forwards
2nd half of the 1st half - very poor especially defensively.

Agree but it is a trial and surely Host will replace Luc who is way out of his depth and not a first grade player. There has been some positives in attack with Hunt and Widdop but terrible defencive choices.

 

[ruthless dragon]

put Doust and McGregor in the centres let them be pulverised and out for the season!
Major problem solved

Ridiculing Nightingale is beyond dumb. His disallowed try was extremely unlucky, and without him diffusing a 'bomb', Souths would be further in front.
